| AM: Commute run in. PM: Commute run home, much much cooler than yesterday. Was initially bummed by the cloudy afternoon but was fortunate enough to notice the clouds break in time to catch the Venus transit of the sun. Truly unbelieveable how small it was. It took a long time to even find it. Considering how much further away the sun is the scale of the universe is beyond imagination.

| Take a wild guess what I ran today. AM: Commute run in. PM: Commute run home. Overall feeling about the same. I'm hoping a week or two of this will clear things up.

A little role reversal today. My wife got up early and did the first run and the I went for my run. We opted for not doing the family run so she could get in more miles and I could test my legs without pushing a stroller. Nothing special, just to Sugarhouse two loops and back but it is something. Overall the mileage this week is better than I was expecting. My foot feels about the same though. It is tough to decide do I take time completely off or just stick with this running but not training routine. I am currently leaning toward giving two more weeks of this and then doing a time trial to see how the foot responds...
